Is the U.S. government afraid of Mexicans?

USMC Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi was arrested on April 1, 2014 and thrown into a Mexican Prison for accidentally crossing the border.

U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, 25, who served two tours in
Afghanistan, was headed to dinner with friends to a Mexican restaurant
in San Ysidro on March 31 and accidentally missed the last exit before
the Mexican border when he mistakenly wound up at a border crossing
point in Tijuana.
Without the ability to turn around before he crossed the border, he
proceeded to the Mexican customs post, where he explained that he
missed the exit before the crossing, and volunteered that he had three U.S. legal guns in the vehicle. After that, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi
was arrested and charged with gun smuggling into Mexico.
Sgt. Tahmooressi was in California in late March from Florida for PTSD
treatment when he strayed to a border checkpoint with three registered
firearms.
In the Mexican jail he has been tortured and even threatened with rape
and apparently the U.S. House Services Committee is not doing much to
secure the freedom of Sgt. Tahmooressi.
I am almost sure Sgt. Tahmooressi was not familiar with the modus
operandi of the Mexican authorities. They were expecting him to offer
them dollars in exchange to allow him to turn around.
I will never forget the time when my own brother was traveling to
Mexico and at the first post the agent asked him if he had any
firearms in the car; when he responded that he didn’t have any, the
agent told him that it was very dangerous for him to travel without a
gun in the car and sold him a gun for $100 (US dollars). When he
reached the second post, he was asked if he had a gun in the car and
he acknowledged that in fact he had one, which he bought from the
previous guard. The guard told him that since he didn’t have any
documentation for the gun, he had no choice but to confiscate the gun.
By the time he got to Mexico City he was informed that the same gun
traveled from post to post for a $100 fee.
That’s the Mexican modus operandi: ripping off people for a few
dollars in their pockets.
More than 500 armed Mexican military and law enforcement personnel
have crossed the U.S. border without permission over the past decade,
raising questions over why a U.S. Marine remains jailed in Mexico for
a similar offense under catastrophic conditions.
Recently, as of June 26, Mexican law enforcement crossed into Arizona
by helicopter and fired two shots at U.S. border agents. A Mexican law
enforcement chopper crossed about 100 yards north into the Arizona
desert, the U.S. Border Patrol said in a statement. The helicopter
then fired two shots on the Tohono O’Odham Indian Nation, which sits
on the border. Border patrol union leaders say the Mexican fired at
agents but that none of them were hurt.
They claim they didn’t fire at the agents intentionally.
This is not a violation of a foreign country law?
That is exactly what happened with U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew
Tahmooressi. He didn’t INTENTIONALLY cross the border and he didn’t
fire at Mexican authorities as they did to our border patrol agents.
Sgt. Tahmooressi even apologized for the incident.
The Mexican government still hasn’t apologized for the “incident” that
could have killed several people.
In January, U.S. border agents confronted two heavily armed Mexican
soldiers who crossed 50 yards inside Arizona.
If this is not a violation of a foreign country law, I would like to
know what it is.
In 2011, more than 30 uniformed Mexican soldiers in military vehicles
crossed the Rio Grande without authorization in an incident that was
believed to be “inadvertent.”
If this is not a violation of a foreign country law, can someone tell
me what it is called?
Four armed Mexican police were caught on the American side of the
border. They were processed and returned in two days.
Yet the Mexican police have been holding U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew
Tahmooressi for over three months on some stupid charges because he
made a wrong turn and ended up in Mexico — and I’m sure his intentions
were not to go into Mexico when half of the whole country of Mexico is
crossing illegally into the United States of America.
I cannot believe the president of the United States, Barack Obama, and
the so-called Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, cannot move a finger
to obtain the freedom of a United States Marine, Sergeant Andrew
Tahmooressi, that is being tortured by Mexican authorities when they
went completely out of their way to free traitor and deserter Bowe
Berghdahl from the Taliban.
I sure wonder: is the United States of America, which was once the
most powerful nation in the world, so afraid of Mickey Mouse Mexican
authorities that they cannot protect one of their own?
I believe I heard the president say that no one in uniform is left
behind. We can never forget that once a Marine, always a Marine. Sgt.
Andrew Tahmooressi was, is and always will be a Marine.
Happy Fourth of July, America!
